Dookie Vitale made me sick tonight

believe it or not, there are actually some people who eat that crap spewing from his mouth up with a spoon

im a big duke fan, but i can no longer watch him blow the whole city of durham during every telecast

I just got back from the game... I have been to every home game the past 3 years... Even though we have struggled, but that was easily the loudest, most intense crowd Assembly Hall might have ever had. What the Hoosiers did WITH OUT their "Best Player D.J. White" (Marco Killingsworth) is amazing. IU played great for 35 minutes. from the 3rd minute to the 38th minute. My roommates and I tivo'ed the game, we are about to watch it.. and I just know that Dickie V is going to piss me off. The Hoosiers played a strong Duke team, and almost had the upset without DJ White. Watch out for the Hoosiers in about a month.

Also, Marco shut down S. Williams, and got both Williams and McRoberts into foul trouble. Marco could be the best at his position in the nation... that is debatable.

Reddick carried his team, love or hate the guy - he is amazing.

I didn't think his pro-Duke stuff was that bad tonight, but how funny was it to find out that Dick Vitale is a Kenny Chesney fan?

Ill take Carl Landry

I just graduated from IU last May. I'm a huge IU bball fan. I watched the game at a bar in Chi tonight so i didnt get to hear his comments. im sure they were pretty bad/funny though.

But all-in-all I am a Dicky V fan. How many of these broadcasters can you say love college bball as much as him? So he kisses the blue devils ass, he's till a fun guy to listen to. I heard he called IU's 1st 3 games 'cup-cake city'...cmon, you gotta admit thats pretty funny.

And the loudest/best game was at home against UofI in 2002 when we hit 17 3's and wooped the crap out of them. Close runners up: last year against UNC, watching the championship game in 2002 @ Assembly was intense as well.

If only running had a guy like Dickie V for broadcasts

Dickie V is a has been...the idiot should stop suckin up to the ACC and become more impartial...because that is what ESPN PAYS FOR HIM TO DO.

Hey Dick, give it a rest...just cuse you love a conference doesn't mean you gotta suck up to them 24/7. Leave the whole being a fan thing at home

(Uconn fan)

The irony of this thread is that most of you have been sucking Stanford and Colorado's packages for years now.

You just don't get paid to do it like Dickie V. does. If ESPN was paying him to be impartial, then he would be. If you really listen, he gives props to many people and teams.

I'd rather listen to him broadcast basketball than anyone ESPN or NBC trots out to do track and field!

If youd rather listen to that screaming, yelling about nothing your sad. Vitale offers very little to nothing with the exception of name dropping. Vitales comments last night that Reddick would be a star in the NBA were laughable. While Reddick is a great college player he has done very little to prepare himself for the NBA..ie getting stronger...it looks as if Reddick has never touched a weight in his life...Please send Vitale to the nursing home for broadcasters

I know. He's got the body of Reggie Miller!

... but I can't stand Dick Vitale either. After so many years of watching, I've somehow trained my ears to tune him out (or mute the TV). Even many Duke fans need a break from the fellatio.

I completely agree that a newer analyst would be a change for the better--if only because they might actually provide some useful game commentary instead of only talking about things that happened 10 or 20 years ago.

Indiana played a tough game--I was impressed by their energy and the crowd. The game had the feel of a sweet-16 matchup in the NCAAs.

Sure, the ACC has won the challenge every year. Then again, name the conference who had 3 of the 8 Elite 8 teams last year...hmm?

I normally don't like the guy, he is annoying, and I hate how he always touches the other analyst while he is talking.

That said, 2 Things:

I hated how Dickie kept saying how he couldn't wait to see Duke play Indiana during the Heels/Illinios game.

I really liked how Dickie made reference to the wonderful things that Bobby Knight had done for the IU program. I think that was great. I still think IU sucks for how they treated him.

Name the winner of the NCAA tourney the last few year....between Carolina, Duke and Maryland I think the ACC owns the tourney..of course they are favored to win it again

You do!!! My name is Ricky Quintana and I blow the entire state of Florida at every race I announce.

My wife would get upset during every Georgia Bulldog game this year because of teh spin the networks would ahve. It was never "Georgia defense doing great by stopping Tennessee." It was always, "Tennessee is just not executing." ESPN always has an agenda and wants the big matchups and a certain scenario to play out.

Last 10 years: 3 champions from the Big East, 3 from the ACC, 2 SEC, 2 PAC 10, 1 Big 10. Hardly ACC dominance. And UConn will win it this year.

Vitale's an idiot, but at least he cares about the players.

Packer's the worst. He's meanspirited and takes any chance he can to denigrate the players.

Good data on the national champs, but what about # of teams in the final 4 over those 10 years? I think what makes the ACC tough is the depth of their quality not just their top team. If 1 conference has 1 awesome team, like UCLA was in the 70's and the other teams in the conference aren't any good, then it's hardly the case of that conference being dominant over the others.

I like how you used last 10 years cause 91,92,93 were all ACC teams that won the tourney...if you went back 15 years it wouldnt support your view...would it sugar..? ACC is better then the big least
